A.W. Tozer was right in saying, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” A high view of God leads to holy living and a low view of God to a low living. As those who love the Lord, our desire should always be to know Him rightly, to know Him as the Scriptures describe Him. The prophet Isaiah saw the Lord and it is from his encounter with God that we can learn more about the One we love and serve.

Isaiah 6:1–7 (Listen)
6:1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory!”
4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”
